Our board host has added a few new changes, which are actually pretty neat. This is what I borrowed from our host.

Reputation system (Evaluation + "Thanks" button)

- "Reputation" field name : Allows the admin. to change the name of the reputation system
- Display this field in : Define if the admin wishes to display this field in the profiles, messages, or nowhere.
- Display this field for users that are at least : Define who can view this field, guests, members, only moderators or administrators.
- Default Value : Lets me define how many points each member begins its reputation with.
- Minimum messages before vote count : Define from how many messages you can start voting
- Minimum reputation before vote count : Allows me to define at what reputation you can start voting
- Delay between two votes by a user :Allows me to define a separation (in seconds) between 2 votes.
-I can also set the number of points awarded for each vote, and the button "thanks", for each sections and categories of your forum

Not sure I get all this,but thanks!

I am still trying to understand this too. I still wonder why the points? Maybe we will start a members rewards card?

hhhmmmmmm....

Okay, I'm clueless...
I have points and I have some reputation
how did I get them?
who can give them?

Points System (similar to cash mod)

The point system is a system based on different criteria and allowing users to evaluate.

How are points calculated?

* Points generated by the number of posts
* Points generated by the number of topics created
* Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
* Reputation points
* Points generated by the registration date of the member
* Points generated by the number of message on his profile

I am still trying to discover what we can buy with these points? Hoping little gifts to purchase for one another would be great.

-----------------

- Reputation system :Evaluation + "Thanks" Button (similar to karma mod)

The reputation system, as you have noticed, is a sub part of the points system. It also works with points.

In each posts, if the feature is activated, small buttons to rate the post will be apparent. Each positive or negative rate can make you win or
lose reputation points.
The number of points won or lost can be modified and can be customized for each categories.
The button "Thanks" allows a member who created a topic to thank the user who wrote the message that it considers most appropriate. The post then
appears highlighted.

----------------

Advanced Profile

The advanced profile is a "remake" of the vBulletin profile.

There are different tab such as:
- The user messages: You can write a message on the profile of a member.
- The friends list.
- Statistics.
- Contact information: You can contact the member.
- The fields of the profile

This feature can be disabled, then the simple profile (current one) that will be displayed.
